Drag & Drop from File Explorer to GNAT Studio doesn't do anything

This issue may be specific to the Windows version.

Hello @zertovitch,

Dropping a file into GNAT Studio should open an editor for it. It works on my side with Windows 11. Could you give more details on what does not work for you?

Regards,

I'm using:

GNAT Studio 24.0w (20230501) hosted on x86_64-w64-mingw32

on Windows 10 and the dropping of a file doesn't do anything.

Actually I can reproduce. It's a known issue internally. We'll see if we can resolve it with Windows 11 at least.

Regards,

It would be very surprising if the solution is dependent on the Windows version. The mechanism for dropping files didn't change since the earliest reference I could find on the Web (this, 1992)!

The used API for that has changed at some point, because it used to work on older versions. Anyway, we'll have a look.
